Measure from the floor to the bend behind the knee.

Measure around the thigh approximately 3 inches below the gluteal fold (crease of the buttocks).

Measure the distance from the bottom of your buttocks to the floor.

"Works well for basic tasks, could be better for specialized ones."
"very comfortable fits well"
"These stocking seem to be the wrong strength. I ordered 30-40 but seems more like the 45-60"
"Comfortable and easy to wear but they get the job done."
"None"
"Very pleasant shopping experience."
"A reliable and comfortable brand that I can continue to buy because of the great value and fast time delivery."
"I do not even care (nor do I remember!) the price I paid for these compression stockings. Knee-high support stockings often created a tourniquet effect just below my knee, causing puffiness because of the constriction. These thigh-high stockings distribute the pressure so evenly that I sense NO tourniquet effect, no swelling or puffiness. And this 30-40 mmHg compression level is firm yet comfortable to handle, with my 68-year-old age-challenged hands. A great benefit of this comfortable handling is that it's MUCH easier to assure a smooth (no-wrinkle) wearing, so the discomfort of one or two wrinkled creases is avoided. Furthermore, the silicone "dots" at the top comfortably provide a secure no-slip wearing. I'm THRILLED to have several pairs on hand now (to add to my previously-ordered two paisr)! And their durability is impressive!"
"I've tried two other types of compression pantyhose and this has been the best."
"Fits well, could be a little more flexible for added comfort."
